EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary hero, Horatius Cocles (also known as Horatius Le Borgne), defending the only bridge that crossed the mighty Tiber River. Set in 507 BC during the early days of the Roman Republic, this pivotal moment in history was marked by a grave threat from Lars Porsenna, an Etruscan ruler. The image depicts Horatius Cocles standing tall and resolute on the bridge, his armor gleaming under the sun's rays. With unwavering determination etched upon his face, he symbolizes bravery and valor in its purest form. As waves crash against the stone pillars beneath him, he stands as a formidable barrier between Lars Porsenna's advancing army and Rome's young republic. The artist has masterfully captured both the intensity of battle and historical significance within this chromolithography print. The intricate details bring to life every aspect of this ancient confrontation - from each soldier's meticulously crafted armor to their fierce expressions as they clash swords on either side of Horatius Cocles. This artwork serves as a reminder of Rome's rich history and its heroes who defended it with unwavering loyalty. It invites us to reflect upon our own capacity for courage when faced with adversity. Through this powerful visual representation, we are transported back to an era where legends were born and empires were forged through acts of extraordinary bravery like that displayed by Horatius Cocles on that fateful day at Tiber Bridge.
